Finding the right agency partner as an HR professional and hiring manager is a game-changer! Having been on both sides, I understand the challenge of finding the right partner – When I was working in Talent Acquisition I was constantly inundated with agencies marketing candidates they've barely spoken to! Here are some 🔑 tips on how to find the right recruiting partner: 1️⃣ Specialization Matters: Look for agencies with deep industry knowledge or specific profession focus. If they cover various practice areas, you might strike gold with a partner who understands both industry dynamics and the critical roles your recruit for. 2️⃣ Scrutinize Outreach: In slow markets, agencies might tout expertise in areas they lack. Check their website & social media to gauge credibility. A solid following often speaks volumes about where the agency is true expert. 3️⃣ Value Over Cost: Cheaper isn't always better! True specialists might flex on pricing but won't lowball. Invest in agencies that understand their value – it often means they can deliver the right results! 4️⃣ Communication is 🔑: A seamless process with transparent communication is non-negotiable. The more you engage with your agency partner, the likelier you'll land the perfect match. The right agency partner should have communication with the client ingrained in their process.

As a company leader, if you had the choice to hire only one person, would you prefer to hire a procurement professional or a sales professional?     The average cost reduction and avoidance delivered by a buyer lie at a staggering 6.9m USD.   However, the question that always remains when it comes to this KPI is: cost reduction compared to what? Last year’s price? An inflated budget?   Despite these impressive numbers stated by CAPS, procurement functions are often understaffed and under-equipped. Strange. Are these numbers wrong?   What is your perspective as a procurement professional on this?   Let’s have a conversation and build bridges between procurement and sales.   --------------- I build bridges between #procurement and #sales – one brick at a time. 🥇 I train sales and procurement professionals to unleash their customer-centricity mindset with the unique FIVIS approach.

One common challenge my candidates often share with me during their job search is the time-consuming nature of application processes, especially after a long day at work. Working with recruiters like myself can alleviate some of this burden by identifying suitable roles. However, I always encourage candidates to continue pursuing roles that interest them independently. So, when is the best time to apply? I recommend setting aside some time on the weekend specifically for this purpose, especially if you're actively seeking opportunities in the market. To make this process easier for you, I'd like to share some of the roles my team is currently working on. Take a look and consider applying to any that catch your interest this weekend!
